Before this incident, the authorities had also been involved in other road accidents resulting in injuries or fatalities, following collisions between cars and trucks or in accidents occurring on the wrong side of the road. For example, on Pipera Bridge in Bucharest, a car entered the opposite lane and collided with two cars and an STB bus; three people were taken to hospital, while breathalyzer tests came back negative.

At the same time, following collisions between trucks and other vehicles, SMURD and extrication crews were deployed: between Techirghiol and Movilița (Constanța), an accident led to the death of the van driver, while two other people were injured and taken to hospital; in another case, three people were injured following a collision after an overtaking maneuver in which driving under the influence of alcohol was suspected.
